Upon research, I haven’t seen a film from director Luc Besson since 1997’s The Fifth Element. I really did enjoy his 90s films La Femme Nikita and Leon: The Professional a lot. I don’t know why I never sought after more of his catalog before. He has a new film dropping next week (The Family), so […]
So Taken 2, huh? You think they could have came up with a “better” name like Taken Again, Retook, Taken Aback, Retake or whatever else you’re clever enough to come up with. But regardless, when I first sat down in the theater to “take” in Taken 2, I was just overjoyed to have Liam Neeson […]
Faster than a speeding bullet. Able to sniff his hidden location out with just a few grenades. Brian Mills is back! Um…I mean Liam Neeson in the titular role he made infamous. Taken 2 has been officially announced and detailed on Blu-ray! First they took his daughter and now the baddies are coming for him […]
There is a reason why Taken 2 already stood a challenge of being a good movie. In 2008, the first taken arrived in theaters and became a smash hit for a very simple reason: Liam Neeson turned his genteel persona on its head. He became a determined father who would take down anyone in his […]
So Taken 2, huh? You think they could have came up with a “better” name like Taken Again, Retook, Taken Aback, Retake or whatever else you’re clever enough to come up with. But regardless, I’m just overjoyed to have Liam Neeson back in the 2008 bada$$ action role that redefined his career after Jedi Master […]
Luc Besson presents the explosive, sci-fi action thriller Lockout, breaking in on Blu-ray and DVD with UltraViolet July 17th from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. Guy Pearce (Prometheus, Memento) stars in this tale of an ex-government agent (Pearce) assigned to rescue the President’s daughter from a deadly riot on a newly developed prison in low space orbit around the earth. Co-starring Maggie Grace […]
So I have wrongly been associating this movie with John Carpenter and Kurt Russell. There is a certain attitude and story structure that definitely evokes this classic 80s sci-fi/action combo, but really, Lockout (or Space Jail, as I’ve been calling it) is much more in line with 90s Bruce Willis action movies. It has such […]
Really, this movie should just be called Space Jail, which will probably not be the last time I mention that in writing, as I am kind of excited to see this mindlessly fun-looking sci-fi/action flick. WonderCon presented a whole panel devoted to the upcoming release from Open Road Films, Lockout, which takes place in the […]
Revenge is definitely a beautiful genre, especially when you’re talking about the Zoe Saldana thriller Colombiana. The never-before-seen unrated version arrives on Blu-ray with UltraViloet and DVD on December 20th, and I for one, couldn’t be happier about it! Colombiana is a scandalous blend of action, sex and violence and if you haven’t experienced it […]
Colombiana is the latest action/thriller from French producer Luc Besson. For those unfamiliar, Besson was the director responsible for wonderful action films such as Leon (The Professional) and La Femme Nakita, but has since been known for producing a slew of slick and simple action films such as The Transporter series and Taken. As usual, […]
District 13: Ultimatum is the sequel to the French film District B13. I’d wager they dropped the “B” from this film, because of that “other” film involving aliens in South Africa. In my opinion, District B13 was the first film to truly bring the urban Parkour style to the main stream. Who do we have […]
